One Tree Hill
Lucas could not believe how horrible his day had turned out. Nathan said they could no longer be friends, and Haley refused to come home. His mom had told him she regretted having him, and it was his fault that Andy was leaving. Not to mention, Dan was no longer going to pay for his heart medication.
It was now 11:30 p.m. Maybe Peyton would listen, and he could release some of his stress. It wouldn't even matter if I left now. He turned the corner and started to walk down the alley next to the club TRICK.
That's when he got the feeling that someone was following him, he began to turn around. Before he could turn completely, he was pushed forward, sending him sprawling to the asphalt. "What the . . ." he began but a fist slammed mercilessly into his jaw, making his head snap to the side.
Lucas fell face first on the ground; his breathing was harsh and ragged, his crimson blood finding its way to the pavement. He was trying to sort out what had just happened when he was picked up by the collar. He stared into the face of his tormentor. "Felix!" he breathed. "That's right Lucas, this is payback!" Felix sneered angrily.
Lucas observed that Felix had two other people with him. "Help!" Lucas called loudly. "Help . . .!" before Lucas could finish his head was slammed into the brick wall with a sickening CRACK. Stars exploded in front of his vision, followed be the warmth of blood that trailed down his face. He felt himself being pulled back, but this time he managed to put his hands in front of his body to waver the impact.
Felix saw and pinned him to the wall, "I don't think so Lucas! Mat get something to hold his hands behind his back!" Felix said. One of the hooded figures walked over and hastily pulled Lucas's arms behind his back. Lucas struggled but was rewarded with an angry punch to his mid-section. Then handcuffs were placed on his wrists. Blood dripped into Lucas's eyes obscuring his vision. "Please Felix don't do this!" He begged. "Shhh! We don't want anyone hearing you now do we?" Felix said in a deadly whisper.
The beating continued. Lucas was pushed four more times into the wall until he had completely blacked out. When Lucas woke he found himself on the ground where Felix and his goons leered over him. Felix now held a metal baseball bat, and he began hitting Lucas all over his unprotected body, blow after blow, accompanied by more blood. Only semi-conscious he realized that his arm was broken, and at least 3 of his ribs, he remembered that he had heard them all snap, not to mention the hot searing pain that accompanied the injuries.
"Okay boy's lets hide him and get out of here!" Felix spoke in a deep voice. Lucas was dragged further down the alley to where a big dumpster sat up against a metal fence. The 3 men pulled the metal container forward 4 feet, and drug Lucas between the small space. The right handcuff was taken off and was latched onto the fence. Another pair of handcuffs was brought forward and were snapped onto Lucas's right hand, then free handcuff was also latched onto the fence.
Lucas was completely trapped. "Felix, how is he gonna keep quiet, I don't plan to get caught!" Mat said skittishly. "Don't worry Mat, I've got that taken care of!" Felix pulled a roll of duct tape from his hoodie pocket, ripped off a piece and slapped it over Lucas's mouth.
The third guy spoke up next, "Guy's this is a bad idea, what if he dies? What if he really needs to be taken to a hospital? What if he identifies us?" Felix turned his deadly glare towards him. "Jason calm down, he can only identify me, and no one will believe him I'm supposed to be at boot camp remember? And the garbage is picked up on Monday's, he'll only be here for 48 hours at the most, besides I'm sure someone will find him before then!" The boys laughed and left the semi-conscious teenager behind.
